About the book...
A precocious pug delights in shenanigans which drive her frazzled owner to declare she will give her pup away!
Laugh along with the snorting, snoring, and gaseous clown of the canine world as its owner struggles to reign in the messes and mayhem of a new addition. But there is nothing that a few licks and cuddles can’t fix, right?
A true delight that any family can relate to, Ode to a Pug is full of heart… and a lot of slobber.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This kid friendly, but also adult friendly, storybook features the wild and wooly times of a little pug and his owner. From zoomies to chewing on EVERYTHING, feeding time to TOOTing time, cuddles to dress up, and all things in between, it shares the beauty of the dog and dog parent relationship in all its brilliant colors.
Let's face it, anyone that has a dog can attest to the wonderful times to be shared, but also the utter chaos that can break out the moment you turn your head, step out of the room, or the mood strikes. I've had dogs throughout my life, and we added a puppy around Christmas time. She's still "little" in age, but GROWING bigger each day, so while she sits sweet and prim for a cookie, the zoomies multiple times a day take on a new meaning when you're dealing with a now 30ish pound puppy! Let's just say DUCK AND COVER is a phrase you hear AND obey if you're in her path. (LOL!) Are there moments you think man, I just need some quiet time or I really don't want to take a walkie right now ...for certain, but would I trade her for the world? HECK to the NO! Same goes for our little smooshy nosed furry terr...I mean, cuddle bug...here. He may get into things he shouldn't, demand time and attention when you're at wits end, but in hindsight, it's well worth the loads of love in return.
If you're a dog lover, YOU NEED THIS BOOK! If you're a dog parent, YOU'VE LIVED THIS BOOK, but you still need it to commiserate and reminisce. Whether you're a kiddo or simply one at heart, take a moment to indulge yourself with this one. You won't be sorry!
